Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup crumbled hazelnut biscotti ( about 3 to 4 biscotti)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 eggs, separated
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 dash salt
4 tsp finely grated lemon peel

Directions:

Heat oven to 325°F In small bowl, combine crust ingredients; mix well. Press in bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
In food processor, puree ricotta about 2 minutes or until absolutely smooth and creamy. Add cream cheese; beat until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, flour and salt; pulse until well mixed. Place in large bowl; stir in lemon peel.
In separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently fold whites into cream cheese mixture; pour into springform pan.
Place springform pan in large, shallow roasting pan or broiler pan. Fill large pan with 1 inch hot water.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until edges are puffed and top looks dull and is dry to the touch. Center should move slightly when side of pan is tapped. Remove from oven; let stand in water bath 30 minutes. Remove from water bath; cool completely on wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours; cover and store in refrigerator up to 3 days.**.
TIPS *Pulse biscotti in food processor to make crumbs. Use chocolate-dipped biscotti to add a hint of chocolate to the crust.
**Cheesecake can be wrapped airtight and frozen up to 2 weeks; thaw overnight in refrigerator before serving.
